In the anime, she is also one of Satoshi's current companions. She has a Axew that lives in her hair. Like Kasumi, Iris is frequently critical of Satoshi's actions as a trainer, calling him childish.

She is also known for being the first naturally dark-skinned main character in the Pokemon series.
